Many people have stretch marks, but few show them off. "Tiger stripes," as they’re sometimes affectionately called, are often treated with disdain, and they’re rarely seen in the media. Model and social media star Jhanyce Wilson wants to change that. As Yahoo! Style reports, Wilson says she used to feel insecure about the marks on her "arms, hips, butt, [and] thighs" and spent years covering them up. Now, though, she's made peace with her marks, and earlier this week, she took to Instagram to share a photo that celebrates them.

The model admits in the caption that at first, she was "taken back" by the professional image when she saw it because it hadn't been retouched. Then, she decided it didn’t matter. “Yes you guys I have [stretch marks]. Many models have them. Humans in general!" she writes. "I remember the time I wouldn’t show my arms off because of the stretch marks! Now I came to embrace them and [wear] whatever."

The post has garnered hundreds of likes, with commenters praising Wilson for sharing the body-positive message. "I love your page and your confidence!" one commenter enthused; "All about loving the skin you're in!" another wrote.

"I have always had an insecurity about my stretch marks in general," the model told Yahoo! Style. "Finally after seven years of hiding them, a switch went off, and boom, I was wearing rompers, tanks, crops, you name it. I want young women to see that having them is normal. I know that word is used a lot, but it’s a part of human nature and nothing to be ashamed of." Her Instagram may inspire even more people to adopt the same attitude.
